Fallin' Up

So the Timebombs hit Pennsylvania this past Saturday for the first time in two years (!) and had a great time. We played Gryphon Cafe in Wayne, a coffee house with great food and some really fantastic art on the walls. We thought we'd have to play kinda quiet, but management gave us full permission to rock out. And so we did. We met some great folks at Gryphon, including a dude wearing a "Brooklyn" shirt, Sherman from Bed-Stuy.

Saturday was also the inaugural launch of our tour van (or Timebomobile, if you will). Big thanks go to the Beattys for this one. It runs great, and it's got our pictures wrapped along the sides...

Next up, we've got two big shows back in Brooklyn: we're back in front of Linger Cafe for the Atlantic Antic October 2 for the second year in a row. And October 23, we are providing entertainment (and sound) for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Out of the Darkness Walk in Cadman Plaza Park. This is an important issue that needs more attention and BRTB is glad to be a part of that effort.

Play almost any song from Nas’ Illmatic, Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage, Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle or any album of that stature at a hip hop show and you’ll see hip hop fans of all ages faithfully rhyming along to the song as though they had personally written the lyrics down years ago in a notebook. But the current state of mainstream hip hop is something that countless fans have lamented over for well over a decade. It would seem that for many hip hop fans the murders of 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Freaky Tah, Jam Master Jay and the death of the O.D.B. have irrevocably altered the creative landscape, perhaps for the worse....
